On the subtle level, America corresponds to the 5th chakra of the subtle system
(Vishuddhi) and also to the Virata (the cosmic, primordial Being). It is no wonder
that it is the melting pot of so many nationalities, races and cultures, beautifully
combined to form the multicolored tapestry of our country. It is the center of
collectivity, global communication and responsibility. That is why so many world
organizations like the United Nations are based in this country, and also that
is why American culture, from Hollywood to fastfoods, exists everywhere.

However, America has the power to spread good ideas or bad ideas, spirituality
or falsehood, purity or immorality, violent images or beautiful ones, through
its far-reaching media. It plays a role of great responsibility in the subtle
body of our planet, as it is America's duty to spread the message of truth,
benevolence and brotherly love to all nations.

Above all, in a radio address
to American listeners in California, 1983, Shri Mataji concludes her talk
by saying that it is America's role to spread the ideal of freedom, not seen
as
abandonment to one's desires, but the true freedom where there are no enslavements
or bad habits, just the complete freedom of our Spirit. It is Self Realization,
the awakening of our Spirit and our connection to the all-pervading reality,
that makes this true freedom possible, enabling us to experience the subtle,
divine knowledge on our central nervous system.

We invite all seekers of Truth to our free public programs held weekly in
over 50 cities around the country. If you cannot find your city or state on
the list below, please contact the nearest center for information on meetings
that may not be currently listed. All public programs are free and open to
the public and no prior reservations are needed.

Thoughtless awareness is the state that we achieve and connects us with power within. Sahaja it is. Free to all and it is special. Know thyself.
